Acer Aspire AS5000 Review

The Acer Aspire 5000 is the first Mobile AMD Turion 64; system out of the gate. In addition to the new 1.6-GHz Turion 64, our test unit came with 512MB DDR memory and a 60GB hard drive, all for a value price of $1,099 direct. It’s not for multimedia enthusiasts, but this value system will satisfy anyone looking for a straightforward mainstream notebook.

..The Acer Aspire 5000 is a good no-nonsense system for basic computing. But as long as the Dell Inspiron 6000 stays under $1,000, it’s a better deal for your money.
